EYEBROW PRE-CARE ADVICE

Please read through this before arriving at your appointment. Following the instructions below will ensure proper healing from the procedure and the best possible results.

PRE-CARE ADVICE

  • No alcohol or caffeine 48 hours before procedure (Yes, there is caffeine in decaf coffee and tea!). Caffeine causes excessive bleeding and poor color deposit.

  • Avoid sun and tanning one week prior to procedure.

  • Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E or Advil/Ibuprofen 48 hours before procedure.

  • Avoid Fish Oil, Prenatal Vitamins, Nutritional Shakes (Shakeology, etc), “Hair, Skin, Nail” supplements 48 hours prior to procedure.

  • Refrain from use of any Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) products close to the eyebrow area 2 weeks prior (and avoid on eyebrow area after procedure).

  • Botox and filler on the forehead, temple, and eye area should be avoided 1 month prior to procedure for those who do not regularly receive injectables.

  • No brow waxing, tinting, or threading one week prior (the more natural hair growth you have, the better!

  • Avoid Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion or facials for 4-weeks prior procedure.

  • No Retinols/Retin-A or other anti-aging/acne creams, or serums containing acids as these will fade brows prematurely.

  • Do not work out or sweat heavily the day of the procedure (or 2 weeks after)

*You will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.

AFTER CARE ADVICE

AFTERCARE IS 70% OF THE TREATMENT SUCCESS

Please follow these instructions for 14 days after the procedure to improve and prolong the results of your PMU. If you don’t follow these instructions, it can greatly affect your PMU results or put you at risk for infection or scarring or loss of pigmentation!

The dry healing process allows your brows to heal naturally, with scabs forming over the pigmented areas and falling off on their own. This method often results in sharper, more defined hair strokes as the scabs act as a barrier to protect the pigment from smudging or fading.

Key Aftercare Instructions:

  • Days 1-3: Keep your brows completely dry. Avoid activities that may cause them to get wet, such as showering, sweating, swimming, or exposure to water.

  • No Picking or Scratching: Resist the urge to touch, pick, or rub the treated area, as this could lead to pigment loss or scarring.

  • Starting Day 4: Apply a thin layer of aftercare ointment twice daily for the next 7 days. This will aid the healing process and help prevent excessive scabbing.

  • Keep It Clean: Avoid touching your brows and steer clear of any products containing fragrances, alcohol, or peroxide.

What to Expect:

  • Your brows may look darker and bolder initially, but don’t worry—they’ll soften and lighten as they heal.

Avoid These for 14 Days:

  1. Saunas, steam rooms, swimming pools, and hot tubs.

  2. Makeup on the brow area.

  3. Direct sunlight or tanning.

  4. Exfoliating products (e.g., scrubs, acids, or retinols).

  5. Botox treatments in the forehead area.

  6. Sleeping on your face.

  7. Intense workouts.

Following these steps will help ensure optimal results and long-lasting, beautiful brows!

The colour will fade approximately 30-50% when the scabs fall off. This is completely normal. Do not feel discouraged if the fading is more than you expected. The colour will become darker in 1-2 weeks after all the scabbing fall off.

A follow up touch up is usually recommended and can be completed anytime after 5 weeks from the initial appointment.
